30 Day Christmas Card Challenge 2024 – Day 13

Hi everyone!

I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.

The theme of Day 13’s challenge is ‘poinsettia perfection’.

I have a good selection of poinsettias but opted for a bargain that I picked up at the start of the year but didn’t get round to using for my Christmas in July. Said bargain is the beautiful Memory Box Poinsettia Corner embossing folder which comes with two dies which I used for the mirror card poinsettias. I coloured some red cardstock with Lumberjack Plaid and Scorched Timber distress inks before embossing it. After adding the mirror card poinsettias, I added a few red pearls to random berries.

30 Day Christmas Card Challenge 2024 – Day 12

Hi everyone!

I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.

The theme of Day 12’s challenge is ‘bauble bliss’.

Now I do have quite a lot of bauble dies so there were MANY products for me to choose from today. I ended up mixing very old with very new – a Poppystamps shelf die that was released earlier this year plus a Memory Box bauble border die which is from 2013 accoridng to the packaging!

Hey mustard pumpkin

Hi again!

Next up today is my entry in this week’s Color Throwdown challenge which has a combo of mustard, kraft and terracotta.

For my take, I used new-to-me dies by Memory Box – who says you can’t have butterflies and pumpkins? Although I suppose it could also be a moth, there’s a lot of them around this time of year! I coloured the die cuts with distress inks and distress mica spray.

30 Day Christmas Card Challenge 2024 – Day 3

Hi everyone!

I’m playing along with Martin’s 30 Day Christmas Card Challenge this month.

Today’s challenge is ‘Sleigh Ride’. I have quite a few sleigh dies which I looked at using but then I unearthed this fabulous Memory Box horse and sleigh die that I snapped up in a sale earlier this year!

I cut the horse from felt and coloured the metal part of the sleigh with a silver deco pen. I adhered the images to a base that I’d covered with Bo Bunny paper and added a few trees, a Creative Expressions sentiment and a few snowflakes to complete my card.

Ghost Week – Day 5

Hi there and Happy Halloween!

It’s Day 5 of Ghost Week and I’m playing along with this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge (I have NEVER entered this challenge so early!!) and this month’s Memory Box challenge where the theme is ‘happy haunting’.

For today’s card, I used the Cookie Jar die that was part of the Pinkfresh Holiday Event earlier in the month. I think I would have preferred to use a bigger card base to more add more white space around the focal point but I also wanted to use my Simon Says Stamp ghosts embossing folder one last time this year and guess what won that design struggle?!

I cut ghosts from Memory Box’s fun set of Haunting Ghosts which I’m proud to say that I have used on three cards this year! The fabulous houses are from Poppystamps’ Twisted Houses set – they worked so well with the jar!.

Thanks for stopping by!
